But a defamatory statement is assumed to be false unless proven otherwise


Which is why every board is so careful these days.

I'm having all our furniture and possessions removed from our house asap and put into secure storage.



After all, if we we robbed and any of these things get taken - we'll only have ourselves to blame.

Are you pissed now? Just because you were challenged, does that make me a troll? I've been on here for years.

Back to the accusation that i was trolling - i wasn't it is perfectly sound advice not to keep large amounts of cash in your house. This is because it cannot be traced if stolen and also insurance companies will only pay out a very samll amount to replace it (often around ?50 i think) so really all in all it is good advice genrally not to keep large amounts of cash about your person or in your property. However at no time did i say being foolish makes being stolen from ok.

Yes - because it's gone, there's almost nothing you can do about it and if

someone did take it they've got away with it.


been there, and it's annoying.

"I've been robbed and without proof I'm going to name a company I think what dunnit"


Yeah I'm sticking with, if not idiot, then ill judged


It's with the "authorities" (not police, but authorities?) so if its as bang up as the OPsuggests, there will be proof and a conviction and then we can talk about the who


Until then I would leave out the company name and stick with general warnings

Hardly the point. It valuables as apposed to "furniture and possessions" that are the issue. Thieves are likely to take items that are small and/or liquid (easily converted to cash). Having large amounts of cash at home is not smart - and from the recent responses by polla2256, we can see they arent the most intelligent of people.

lane lover - I wouldn't be so harsh on the OP as it can be quite upsetting to lose that much cash so I'm taking any belligerence from them with a pinch of salt


they have been posting intelligently enough on here for a while and deserve a bit more respect than that


I am also uncomfortable with people saying what you should and shouldn't keep in the house - it's not far removed from tellng women what they can't wear for fear of being attacked

Do you mean things like cash, laptops, AV gear, phones, tablets, jewellery.. These sorts of things?


I hope you don't keep any of these items at home. After all, you'd be a fool to do so.

I keep all of those things in my flat


Doubt I'm fully insured for them either - but I choose to take that risk.

I carry my iPhone around with me too, and use it on public transport (horror :)) ).


Don't keep more than ?100 cash on me or in the house though anymore.

This case was reported to the london met, I have met with 2 officers today who advised they intended to raise the charges of theft by staff. They would have arrested the cleaner this evening for questioning, however I gave the company the chance of resolve at dinner time (the offer was to meet with the supervisor tonight) and told the police of this meeting.


From then I was advised that if a resolve could not be found they would refer the case to the CID due to the nature of the charges. If a resolve was found they would not take further action.


I met with the company supervisor tonight and settled the matter. After doing so I provided the info to the police.


The case is now resolved.


To those who I was abrupt with I apologise, to those who cast insult, well whatever i'll probably join you with banter in another thread anyway.


It was the staff member who stole, but the company contracts the staff and hold some accountability for the checks the carry out and people they provide hence why I named them (no diffent to watchdog). Hopefull it's just 1 bad egg but I have no trust in them and am entitled to this.

      Annoying words that have cropped up in our language

      Has Social Media Failed ?

      By Sue · Posted

      I think the decline in lounge chats has happened since the new forum format. Stuff like "five letter word game thingy" (🙄) is almost always shown if you look to see what new posts are in the lounge, and whilst that's probably great fun if you are actually playing it, it doesn't really raise your hopes that there might be something of interest in the lounge. I think these things should be in some kind of separate section. I can see that might complicate things, but at least then people who weren't constantly playing the game might be able to see other threads more easily. Re angry people, it was ever  thus. Some of the more unpleasant people of the past seem to have gone, from this forum at least. Some of them occasionally pop up elsewhere, unfortunately. As for social media in general, I find it very useful on the whole,  to keep in touch with friends who live a long way away, and to find out about events etc I might otherwise not have known about. And just to keep abreast of what's going on in general. A lot easier than letters and the town crier and the grapevine. ETA: Just looked at the lounge threads and I think it's the starred threads which should be in a separate section, perhaps?
